I'm trying to decide between buying a used 4070 or a 5070 for gaming. I typically play competitive games at 1080p like CS:GO and Rainbow Six, but I'm also considering stepping up to more demanding titles like Crimson Desert and Cyberpunk in the future. I found two deals: one for the 4070 priced at $475 after tax, and another for the 5070 at $561 after tax. By the way, I'm upgrading from a 1650 Super.

If I were you, I'd pick the 5070. The standard 4070 is a bit slower, but if you're looking at a 4070 Super, that might change the decision. But the 5070 is a good bet.
Definitely the 5070! With those prices being so close to new cards, you might as well grab the better GPU. It seems like a smarter choice for your needs.
Honestly, I'd go for the 5070. The 4070 is solid, but if you're looking at some of those demanding games down the line, it's worth the extra $86 to future-proof your setup. Why not go for the better option?
For 1080p gaming, either card would do you well. I've got a 4070 Ti and run everything at 4K! But if you're considering the 5070, check out the manufacturing differences—they might make it a worthwhile upgrade compared to the 4070.
Yeah, I've read about the differences. Seems like the 5070 might be the way to go for longevity!
